Hippos, hammocks and harmony. On a lush island in the
middle of the Zambezi River, around 50km from Livingstone, Jungle Junction attracts
travellers who just want to lounge beneath palm trees, or engage in some fishing (ZMW77
including equipment and guide). Meals are available (ZMW36 to ZMW60).

Another waterfront lodge,
things feel more rustic here with a wilderness charm, as crocs inhabit a small creek on the
property. Accommodation ranges from luxury tents and riverside chalets to executive
rooms or family suites. The riverside open-air beer garden is unsurprisingly popular at
sunset. It's located 4km south of Livingstone, and a handy free shuttle service takes you to
the falls and town.

Only a 10-minute walk from the falls, this sprawling resort
provides a great base for exploring the area. The North African kasbah-inspired rooms are
vibrant while plenty of pools and a playground are perfect for families. It's within the
perimeter of the national park, so expect to see grazing zebras but keep your distance.
Rates include falls entry.
